Updated: Jan 23, 2020

Indoor Winter Attractions

In winter, walking the beaches of Emerald Isle, or exploring a park or golfing or kayaking in the Sound may be enough entertainment for most. However, some days you might just like to experience some indoor entertainment. Luckily for you, a number of great attractions do exist and one of the best is the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.


Visit Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium

There’s so much do to and see at the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium! This awesome attraction is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission for adults (ages 13 to 61) is $12.95. Children (ages 3- 12) are just $10.95 and any children under the age of two are free. Seniors (ages 62 or older) are $11.95. Admission includes many of the fantastic educational programs offered at the aquarium, though there are a few special programs which cost a little extra. If you have a future marine biologist on your hands, though, you may find that it’s worth it!




Tour the Exhibits

Aside from the many animals on display, the aquarium also features exhibits that will fascinate kids of all ages as well as the parents! You’ll learn about the animals native to North Carolina, like the loggerhead turtle or local birds. There are also play areas for the “little minnows,” which combine education with imagination!


Attend a Special Events

Throughout the year, the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium hosts a number of events. In the Bird Show, get up close and personal with impressive birds like owls, pelicans, vultures, and other species. When fall comes, Trick or Treat Under the Sea is a great way to celebrate Halloween. You can bring in the holiday spirit with Santa by the Sea during the winter season.


Unique Tours and Adventures

In addition to seasonal events, the aquarium hosts unique tours throughout the year. One great activity is the behind the scenes tour. This tour is a good way to learn about how the aquarium operates. In the spring, summer, fall and winter, you can also take part in a number of outdoor activities. When the weather is good, you can go kayaking, paddle boarding, surf fishing, or crab and clam harvesting!

Free Programs

At the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, you won’t just tour the facility and look at wildlife in tanks. Instead, the area hosts unique, free programs daily to enjoy. These programs occur all day long and offer you and your kids the chance to ask questions and interact with the aquarium staff. Most days, you’ll find Caretta’s Cover Digital Puppetry, diving demonstrations, an animal feeding demonstration, and more.
